EXCEPTIONAL MARTIALLY MARKED REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 123890. Cal. .44. Blue finish with 8″ oct bbl, pinched post front sight & 3-line address. Trigger guard is unplated brass and it is mounted with 2-pc walnut grips and has a crisp, clear cartouche on left side. Grips are matching numbered to this revolver. Various parts have small inspector initials including frame, bbl, rammer and cyl. This model revolver was produced in large quantities 1863-1875 and was one of the most popular sidearms throughout the Civil War and on the American frontier for its large caliber and ease of reloading, especially with mounted troops. A trooper could carry one or more charged cylinders and quickly exchange it for one that had been fired. These revolvers remained in service with the Army, and especially the Cavalry, until the military adopted the Colt Single Action Army revolver in 1873. Even after that, the Remington Army remained in service for several more years until the Colt had been completely distributed. It is well documented that Custer’s 7th Cavalry carried the Remington New Model Army until 1875/76 as did the 2nd & 10th Cavalry Regiments, all of which were engaged continuously in fighting Indians on the American frontier. Revolvers of this model are rarely found today with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine+, all matching including grips. Bbl retains 75-80% glossy orig blue with loss areas flaked, not worn, to a medium/dark patina. Rammer retains about 80% orig blue. Frame retains about 98% glossy orig blue with only light sharp edge wear, a few small scratches & a few small freckles of surface rust on right side. Cyl retains about 90% glossy orig blue with one area of flaking & shows about all of its orig blue in the chambers. Hammer retains bright case colors. Grips are sound with a gouge on right side & light to moderate wear on edges, and retain most of their orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, appears to be unfired. 4-56514 JR116 (3,500-5,000) – Lot 1089
